Tire Softener
Tire Softener
(OP)
I race a 4 cy. at my local dirt track and they only allow Street tires. I read that Methylnaphthalene would soften tires? The same stuff that is found in paint stripper? If this does work what paint stripper do you recommend? The tires I have now durometer at 60..I would like to get them down to about 40.





RE: Tire Softener
It may be a wild guess, but you maybe can use wintertyres, preheated. (they are designed to give more grip, but at elevated temperatures, they tend to stick/abrade more)
